This research was conducted to find out the respiration and quality characteristics of wani fruit at different storage temperatures. The results showed that the wani fruit was a climacteric fruit, in which the rate of respiration increased during ripening period. Lowering of storage temperature of wani fruit reduced the rate of respiration and climacteric peak. The temperature significantly affected the texture of the intact fruits, total acid and total soluble solid of the fruit flesh. It was found that the best storage temperature of wani fruit, which resulted in lower respiration rate and prolong storage life without chilling injury, was about 8°C.
